[MD] Back to the last static latch

Lila brought ZMM back to earth. ZMM is New Age pot, crystals, incense  
and rebels without a cause. Lila is analytical reason explaining  
today's intellectual and societal degeneration. ZMM belongs to the 
Hippies, Lila to the hard-headed.  ZMM is feel-good, Lila is realistic. 
  
Most have never heard of the MOQ. Of those who have, many deny its 
conclusions. So inexorable slippage back to the last static latch seems 
certain. What passes for morality today is soup of neoChristian, pseudo-
religious sentiments about compassion, sharing and caring -- unless you 
happen to be a conservative. Then, of course, you are a villain, 
deserving of every profanity known to man..      

The MOQ makes such hypocrisy evident. And while It may not be the 
complete answer to today's social crisis, it offers a slim ray of hope
-- but too slim I'm afraid.
